Movement Tech

Shield Charge and Disengage are also used for mobility because you can animation cancel the charge with Disengage (shown in Youtube video here).

Single target

Rolling Slam is used as a single target ability against bosses. Use Perfect Strike if preferred.

Spirit Gems

First Spirit aura should be War Banner because it is getting ridiculous buffs. Second Spirit gem is Herald of Ash for more AoE.

Gem quality

Since Infernal Cry gives more Damage from Quality I would recommend this one first but if you have a problem getting stunned while using Rolling Slam get that one first as now you get Stun Threshold from Quality.

Giant's Blood is the unknown for now. Unsure of it's potential with the nerf. Most likely still meta to play with a shield in off hand.

Another option for Rolling Slam is to go for Aftershock and Reverberate with Earthbreaker and Ancestral Empowerment as those have been VERY strong especially for single target.
